Just say that you got sick. After a lot of tests the doctors tell your parents that you have cancer and that you only have 2 months to live. Now you just think that it is a bad cold or virus. Now the question is, would you want to know that your time was numbered or would you rather live you life not knowing?

If you did know then you could do things that you always wanted to do. You could tell your crush that you like him/her. You could go sky-diving or if you really hated the world go to Pakistan and hunt down Osama Bin Laden in a Blaze of Glory. The problem about knowing is that you will be nervous all of the time and you would not be able to stop thinking about your death. It may make you worse as well because it may lead you to mass depression.

On the other hand if you didn't know then you would just get sicker and sicker but at least you could think that your body will heal itself sooner or later. And that way you can live your life in peace but in pain holding onto the fact that it will be over soon. But the other side of the coin is not doing the things you wanted to do. At least in the first couple of weeks you can do things until the Cancer kicks in. If you didn't know then you would just spend you dying weeks in bed waiting to get better.

To know or not to know, that is the question.
